Kevin James, Josh Gad For ‘Pixels’

EXCLUSIVE: Sony has found its leads forPixels, the Chris Columbus-directed film. Kevin James and Josh Gad are in early talks to star in the film. Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo’s Happy Madison is producing. Tim Herlihy and Tim Dowling wrote the script, based on short by Patrick Jean. Production will begin this summer. The logline: When aliens attack by staging versions of ’80s video games on an epic scale, four champion arcade gamers are called back into action to save the world.

What about Kevin James’s 10/90 model sitcom? Is that still happening? His movies are all right, but I still say his best work to date was on The King of Queens. I was looking forward to seeing him on a weekly sitcom again.

Who is guiding Kevin Jems career? He makes the worst film choices in the business, it’s really pathetic. He should go back to TV ASAP before his opportunities dry up. I expect that will be drying up a week after the release of mall cop 2.
